Nnamdi Kanu Will Be Released Soon – Amaechi Speaks Ahead of Friday Court Ruling

 

It has been revealed that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, will soon be released.

 

Mbazulike Amaechi, a First Republic Minister of Aviation, gave the assurance while addressing journalists in Onitsha, Anambra State, ahead of Kanu’s court hearing slated for Friday.

 

The former Minister, last year, had led a delegation of Igbo elders to a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari over Kanu’s release.

 

However, Amaechi said despite Buhari’s assurances of releasing the IPOB leader, Kanu is still in custody.

 

He said Igbo elders met with President Buhari shortly after Kanu’s arraignment in court and told him to release him for them to go home and discuss with him the next Igbo agenda and “Buhari gave us an audience and ever since then, negotiations between us and the Federal Government have been on to free Kanu.”
